While I haven't read any of this series (it's not my kind of read at the moment) I've enjoyed Connie's previous work Enscrolled(Young Adult, 10E/10E) so I have complete faith these will be equally awesome.

Nayu note: it's on Amazon UK too and probably most other good online booksellers)

Book summary

The war has begun. The battle’s
unfolding. And victory feels so distant…

The Essenced had prepared and trained, but never
imagined the true horror of watching demons tearing through the Division to
invade the realm. Every claw is horrific—every snarl disgusting—and the
responsibility of keeping that vile terror from expanding beyond the
battlefield’s borders rests in the teenagers’ hands. They thought they were
ready for that challenge…

But then their confidence is shaken when a deadly new
weapon emerges from the enemy’s arsenal, and well-kept secrets from the
Essenced’s angelic superiors begin to surface.

In the midst of the carnage, can the teens find the
strength within themselves, and among themselves, to grasp victory in
blood-tainted hands?"

About the Author:

Connie L. Smith spends a decent amount
of time with her mind wandering in fictional places. She reads too much, likes
to bake, and might forever be sad that she doesn’t have fairy wings. And that
she can’t swing dance. Much of her preferred music is severely outdated, and as
an adult she’s kind of obsessed with Power Rangers. She has her BA from
Northern Kentucky University in Speech Communication and History (she doesn’t
totally get the connection either), and her MA in English and Creative Writing.

Hi, I'm Nayu!

About me

About me I'm a UK book reviewer who founded NRC in 2009. As well as books I'm addicted to anime, love gaming, and spend time coaxing novels out of my Muse. I'm at the early stage of the path to publication, and will release all news when I have it! ^o^ Sometimes there will be days without posts because I have to deal with chronic illness and chronic pain gremlins. Please be patient in the down times.

Thanks to my passion for languages I like to rest up watching anime in English, French, and Japanese. I also adore gaming and cross stitch. My crochet hobby has evolved in to my Etsy store and blog Nayu's Crochet Dreams, where I sell handmade blankets, dishcloths and other crochet goods.

My cat Belle loves curling on my lap when I read, although she gets a bit crabby when I crochet because she doesn't like the yarn draping over her. Needless to say she doesn't get a say in the matter!

I hope you enjoy Nayu's Reading Corner, which has lots to offer whatever you're interested in.

short 'n' sweet= a shorter than normal review for when I'm low on energy/ill. Full reason is in this post. It bears no reflection on the book's brilliance. I truly would write more if I could.

Apart from books, which are copyright to the publisher, and pictures which I say are mine, all other pictures are found online through a Google search. I don't own the right to any of them.

Affiliates:I'm in the slow process of removing affiliate links. All affilate links will be marked as such, and if you choose to buy a book through an affiliate I get a tiny smidge of money. None of my opinions change because I'm using affiliates.

Disclaimer

I am fortunate that most of the books I currently review are received from authors and publishers.

At the beginning of each review I put either Review copy (received from authors/publishers), Personal Copy (purchased by myself) or Library Copy (borrowed from the library).

Wherever the book comes from, I always write an honest review, explaining what I do like, as well as what I don't. I don't receive any payment for these reviews.
